German

Etymology 1

From Middle High German dūge (13th c.), from Latin duga, doga, from Ancient Greek δοχή (dokhḗ). Cognate with Dutch duig. The form with -b- appears in the 15th century. It may have been influenced by Old French dove, from the same source. However, such influence is not certain. Intervocalic -b- and -g- are pronounced as fricatives or even approximants , in many, chiefly Central German, dialects, which explains sporadic developments -g- → -b- after back rounded vowels.
